Becky Godchaux???
I was at the concert and saw this girl up close. If she was a day over 21, I'd be shocked. And Keith Godchaux passed away in 1980, which would make Becky at least 27. Plus, there was way too much "chemistry" to make me believe she was, if not Beck's daughter, then at least a blood relative. I wish I could find any corroborating evidence: I'm still searching.
She's Tal Wilkenfeld, from Australia. She has played with everyone worth playing with, and now has her own cd out.
Yup. It's Tal Wilkenfeld.
The answer I found, via searches for Jeff Beck at YouTube.com is also Tal Wilkenfeld. This link goes to videos of her there including footage from the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Tal%20Wilkenfeld&search=Search&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&spell=1
Indeed, it is Tal Wilkenfeld. see www.talwilkenfeld.com for more information.
Thanks to those who researched this. The girl is an incredible talent. Being at the concert, and not being up-to-date on Jeff Beck, the onstage chemistry certainly led me to believe it could have been his daughter. She has an unbelievable career in front of her -- and who would think that a young girl would decide to play bass? I hope to see/hear her long into the future.
